Apprenticeships

If you’ve got an interest in business, engineering, science or technology, a Babcock apprenticeship could be for you.

At Babcock, what you do here matters. From submarines beneath the waves, the security of nuclear energy, to secure communications in space – our apprentices get equipped with the skills they need to help solve global problems and to create a safe and secure world. As a Babcock apprentice, you will gain hands-on experience in the workplace while also undertaking a part-time course with a training provider. We offer a competitive apprentice starting salary, between £12,000 and £30,000 per annum, dependent on the apprenticeship level, discipline, and location. As an apprentice, you’ll also receive a superb package of benefits including personal development training and opportunities, a minimum 28 days holiday allowance including bank holidays and a competitive pension scheme. As you progress through your career, you’ll have the opportunity to pursue further education opportunities and higher-level qualifications. We are very proud that apprentices choose to stay with us long after completion of their apprenticeship. In fact, many of our senior managers started their careers as apprentices in Babcock.

I never imagined I would acquire the skills and knowledge I’ve gained through this programme. It’s remarkable to think that I had never worked with tools before, yet soon I’ll be a fully qualified tradesperson.
